Two Years!

Geoff and I have been married for two years today! It does not seem like that at all. This past year may not have been as exciting as our first, since we work non-stop it seems like, but it still was a great year. We moved into a bigger place, Geoff started a new job, and we love one another more than we did on our wedding day. I'm looking forward to spending many more anniversaries with the love of my life for years to come :)

Rockin' Ringers Logo

My mother-in-law asked me to redesign my brother-in-law's hand chime Choir's logo to print out on some t-shirts. They are the Rockin' Ringers and she wanted them to have a rockin' logo to match! Here is the final design:

This was totally fun to create! I hope to have more logo design opportunities in the future :)

Happy Birthday, Handsome!

The love of my life turned 24 today! We both had to work all day, but Geoff got off work a couple hours early so I could make his favorite dinner, meatloaf and potatoes, and have cake and open gifts! Pretty low-key, but still a fun evening.

Picture I posted on Instagram and Facebook
to wish the birthday boy a happy day!

Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting... Yum!

Here's what I wrote for Geoff on Instagram and Facebook:

"Happy Birthday to my favorite person! I'm pretty sure not many people can say they work as hard as this guy does... Full-time school and working a full-time job takes up most if not all of his time! He doesn't need to work, but I'm very lucky and grateful that he does so we can continue to build up our savings for whatever the future holds. Geoff, thanks for being who you are. A busy as you may be, I appreciate that you still take time for me to make sure my needs are met. Can't wait until you graduate so I can have you to myself more often, like a regular wife should! I love you the most!"

But really. I love him the most :)

Wisdom Teeth and Temple Open House

My parents decided to come down to Utah for Kristen to get her wisdom teeth taken out, since the price is 1/3 of the cost it would be to get them out in Washington. Most of the time was spent it a hotel room, but I'll take that over not seeing my family at all! We went out to dinner the night before Kristen got her wisdom teeth out to Rodizio Grill, very yummy! We also went to the Provo City Center Temple open house as well. Such a gorgeous temple with a lot of unique details inside. Geoff and I made potato soup and apple dumplings for Sunday dinner before they made the drive back to Washington. A quick trip, but it's better than nothing!

Young Women's New Beginning Invitations and Programs

My Aunt Cara asked me to design her ward's New Beginnings invitations and programs, since she is one of the people in charge. They were fun to do! I've never used a glitter font before, who knew it was so simple to turn any font into a glittery one with some simple glitter digital paper.

We Do Disney Printable

A few days ago, I saw this adorable Disney printable, but I didn't like it as much as the way I envisioned it in my head. So I made my own with new wording. This is perfect for any Disney lover! It is now available in my Etsy shop.

Christmas 2016

Since Geoff had to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas, we had our own little Christmas at home. I'm sure you're thinking "That's so depressing that he had to work!", but it was actually fine. He works from 11 to 8, so we had all evening on Christmas Eve to open our Christmas pajamas, then we had all morning to open gifts and make a yummy breakfast on Christmas. I liked having a calm, relaxing Christmas with just the two of us! Plus, Geoff got paid almost triple of what he normally makes working on those two days, so it was nice seeing the extra money in our bank account!

Christmas PJs... I got a new robe for my PJs!

We also got to talk to Elder Whetstone on Christmas! We were the first ones he FaceTimed... We felt so special! We had no idea he was going to call... We just finished opening our gifts when Geoff's phone started ringing. Although the called ID said "Mikenzie Whetstone," we thought it was Eli, since he now has Mikenzie's phone and number. But it indeed was Mikenzie! Best Christmas ever, we miss him!

Love you, Elder Whetstone!

A couple days after Christmas, we drove to Washington to spend a few days with our families for New Years. It was great seeing everyone, even "Little One" herself. We also saw Eddy, Miken and Pip! We miss them not living in Utah anymore :( Every so often Geoff gets sad thinking about how much he misses the Pip!

Reunited with Pip!

We introduced our families to the game One Night Werewolves, and it was a huge hit every time we played. Eli loved it so much he ended up buying it! We played it on New Years Eve at the church, and more and more people kept joining in to play.

Best game ever (for now)!

We also got to see Holly, Brad and their cute kids! We went out to dinner in Moses Lake. It's been way too long since we saw each other, but I love and cherish the special times we are able to get together.

Holly, Anslee, and I.

All in all it was a fun time in Washington. I loved seeing all the family we did, and staying at my Grammie and Grandpa's for a couple nights was so fun! Geoff and I would wake up to my Grandpa making yummy buttermilk pancakes, eggs, sausage, and much more! Hopefully we're able to go back again sometime this year before Christmas, maybe around June if we're able!

Sissy!
